My daughter is going into the 8th grade, having been an Honor Student for 6th & 7th grades. The teachers have been, for the most part, highly dedicated and engaging with the students in spite of the recent budget cuts across the state. (A shout out to Mr. McCabe and Mrs. Sherman!) Overall, we have had a very good experience there. Close Quote
